PHOENIX, Arizona, June 17. WE’VE reached the finish line of this season’s Arena Grand Prix series, and this Race Day episode looks ahead to the top names and races that will get fans excited for what’s to come later this summer.

Tiffany Elias and Jeff Commings discuss Michael Phelps’ event schedule and how it could set up for his races at nationals, as well as the presence of several top college swimmers looking to show their stripes in long course.

As far as the women’s races, Elias and Commings believe the freestyle races will show a lot of the best talent, including a deep field in the 100 free and a possible showdown between Missy Franklin and Allison Schmitt in the 200 free.
